world are a different story.’

The man mumbled to himself as he walked out of the office.

“It’s been a while since the last bloodbath.”

Heavenly Azure Dragon, Nam Goonghyuk.

The dragon of the Namgoong family was making his way back into the tower for the first time in 5 years.

The victories were non-stop after the power was up for grabs.

Players saw the power and challenged me in hopes of maybe being able to win it.

As a result, I ended up stacking up quite a bit of a collection to combine with.

Of course…

‘Now that my name is pretty well known, people are shying away from challenging me again.’

They probably realized that I wasn’t an easy target.

“Too bad.”

I even revealed my actual name for this.

To be fair, I did squeeze every possible drop I could from this.

And I wasn't the only one who thought this way.

「 Administrator ‘Iron-blooded Monarch’ wants more out of the arena.
」 

The reason was clear.

The number of skills I had obtained here was comparable to the ones I’d gained my entire journey here.

I walked out after determining that there was nothing more to be gained here.

And…

“Interesting.”

I stared at the darkness covering the sky and admired it.

Who would have guessed that ‘night time’ existed in the public area?

The stars shone through the darkness as if they were trying to appeal their existence to me.

‘I guess this is better than it always being day.’

With a smile, I started walking away from the arena.

Since my business with the arena was done, I wanted to check out some of the other things I could do here.

The auction house, casino, marketplace, etc…

There were still a lot of things I hadn’t experienced in the public area, but I didn't have the energy to go visit all of them.

Obviously.

‘How could I not be tired after spending all day fighting in the arena?’

My body was about to give out after the dozens of battles I’d just been in.

‘I’ll just go see what’s there.’

I didn’t really have a plan so I first strolled around the plaza.

As I took a look around, I noticed that there were a lot of challengers talking to each other and exchanging information.

Using the public area for what it was actually intended for.

‘I guess I’m the weird one for spending the whole time fighting when we’re not even in trial.’

In the middle of my walk, I came across a sudden thought.

“My name being revealed might become a hassle back on Earth.”

Just the thought of my name being brought up in the community was already annoying me.

But…

‘It’s not like they can use it to harm me.’

I wasn’t scared of anything they could do, nor was I weak enough to take it lying down.

Not after everything I went through to get here.

“…”

Thinking back, I sure had gone through a lot since I got to the tower.

I killed another human being for the first time and found out what it meant to get stronger.

My life that stagnated for 7 years faced rapid growth as soon as I entered this tower.

And now, I knew who I was and why I wanted to get stronger.

I was tired of being looked down upon.

I knew how it felt to be powerless in the face of true strength.

Whether it was in real life or the tower, the weak always get trampled on.

In conclusion?

‘I have to get stronger if I want to survive.’

I wasn’t climbing the tower to blindly get stronger.

If I was strong as I am now when the dungeon break happened, my parents would still be alive.

I was weak then, and paid the price for it.

And…

「 Administrator ‘Iron-blooded Monarch’ is confused at the silent walk.
」 

「 Administrator ‘White Crane Sword Saint’ enjoys this aspect of you as well.
」 

「 Administrator ‘Black Devil’ yawns at you being deep in thought.
」 

I had to learn what exactly these administrators wanted.

The more administrators that took a liking to me, the more powers I’d be sponsored with.

First—

‘’I’ll have to go back to the waiting area.’

It was time to make use of the skills I got from the arena.
